Detailed research on an individual - perhaps an ancestor or person of local significance. This kind of research is great for gifting.

Research on a branch of a family, finding and proving links between generations. This kind of research can expand and contract depending on your research questions and budget. Typical examples might include research into one family line over a number of generations, or research into a certain number of ancestors or descendants from an individual. Another great gift idea, which can be added to over time.

Perhaps you're interested in the history of your current or childhood home. Maybe there's a particular building of local significance that would interest your community. House and building histories can discover when the building was erected, what was there before, how it changed over time, and the stories of the people who lived and worked there.

Discover how a place of interest has changed over time, including how it grew and developed, the people who lived there, the work they were engaged in, and the stories associated with them. Local history research might inform heritage, conservation and tourism. In the rapidly changing modern world, local history can develop a sense of community and belonging. 

Perhaps you've inherited old documents or letters connected to your family history, or maybe you've found them online. How frustrating not to be able to read the old-fashioned handwriting! Genealogists are experienced in reading old-fashioned handwriting on historic documents. A legible transcription can be made, unlocking the contents of the documents to progress your research journey.

Many people love doing family history research themselves, making use of the wealth of information available online. You might even be lucky enough to inherit family history notes from a relative. How sure can you be that the information you're compiling is factually correct? The research checking service is ideal when you've amassed a body of information and you want peace of mind that the connections you've made are sound.
